Xmas knives (I forged a thing!)

[fishface5]

Let's see the Xmas knives, given or received!

After making my first knife from scratch I swore off future attempts - so much work! But my nephew went to camping camp and since then it's been "dad I neeeeeed a knife to cut things and stuff!" So my brother volunteered me to make one for him. Thanks to the guys at Lawless Forge in Seattle, who provided the O1, forge and training for this. Ugly but it works! Finish work really is over half of the job, and I failed. But the 10yo doesn't care!

What do you all have to show for the day?

Looks great man. It's handmade, you'll see all the imperfections, but it doesn't matter you know you made it. Every time you use it I bet you will smile.

I agree, and I think it's a beauty!
